Residents across the Monadnock region took part in No Kings Day rallies this past weekend, with gatherings in Peterborough, Jaffrey, Rindge and Hancock. Others traveled to Concord where thousands of people gathered at the State House Saturday.

The rallies were among more than 2,500 held nationwide, including 28 in New Hampshire, as part of the coordinated No Kings Day demonstrations to protest President Donald Trump’s administration.
